Call duck pen ideas!

I house my "adult" calls with..well all the birds in my signature besides the geese. I have no problems at all, If you have a good male to female ratio along with a big coop you should have no problems, but if you'd like to be safe something like this might work for six calls. Maybe a bit bigger and lower to the ground for easier access.

Nice house Something like that would work. I’m looking foreword to building something. It will be a nice distraction.

Nice picks! Are you getting them for Purley poultry? We will need pictures when they come!

I am getting them from Johnson’s waterfowl. I am definitely going to take a ton of pictures! It will only be a couple of days till they come and I’m already impatient! Ha ha

That is a good idea. It is definitely feasible since I have around six pallets in my backyard and some useable wood too . Thanks much for the ideas!

It won't be fancy but it will work! Just get some hardware cloth and put it wherever there are spaces something like a weasel can get through and you should be good to go!

I made a pallet shelter for mine in the run for during the day for shade and when it rains. One of the maintenance guys at Sam's club gave me some big thick sheets of plastic/rubber-like stuff that they put between the product of breakable liquids on the pallets. It's the size of pallets and I put it on top of the roof of my pallet hut in the run. It's as dry as can be too even with all the rain we've had.

I put a pallet on top, then an old piece of plywood and then the black rubber stuff on top of that. It's not beautiful by any means but the ducks seem to love it.

I have owned ducks since 2010 and can assure you I am taking good care of them. They will and already are constantly provided with fresh food and water.

Your doing great and they are adorable ❤

Thank you very much. I am still a little worried about the little one that seems sleepy. It is doing ok it just doesn’t seem as lively so I thought electrolytes might perk it up. I am thinking the trip might have just faired harder for that little one. It seems to be better now. I will keep monitoring it and make sure it does well. I think I would be tired too if I spent three days getting jostled around in the mail.

Stop the electrolytes. Hard on the heart..

Where do you get your information?

How’s the new littles this morning?

 

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

I let the littles walk around this morning for a while when I cleaned their pen. They loved it! They all were running and playing even the little snowy! I am in the process of naming them right now! Once I have their names I will definitely post a picture of each one! They are definitely lovable little ducklings!
